And more proof that baseball is intertwined with US history. Edmund F Fitzgerald whom the freighter was named after, his son was a founding partner of the Milwaukee Brewers

50 years ago today we lost the SS Edmund Fitzgerald RIP to the 29 crew members. youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI?...

Today's mail: How i collect new stuff. Color match parallel of future HOFer with a fun image (him with a Philly Phanatic bat).

Today's card of the day from the pc

Jays today is like...Bichette? We don't need no stinking Bichette

Since today is game 162 in MLB season. And one of the most memorable moments of a game 162 in recent times is Evan Longoria's clinching home run in 2011. Should we say Happy Evan Longoria Day? :)

Bobby Shantz is 100 years old today...Happy Birthday! Always liked this tidibt: Shantz made his MLB debut with Connie Mack as his manager. Mack was born during Linciln presidency

Random thought: Harold Reynolds & Dan Plesac are faces of MLB Network yet neither have had a Topps certified auto since the network airing.

RIP Robert Redford..true legend. I don't have any Redford or Roy Hobbs cards so this is a close as i got

It's been 24 yrs. Wow...still have emotions even i knew no one personally affected. Here is my 9/11 remembrance cards. If you don't know Stanley Jefferson was a 1st responder....

Since it's Labor Day. Here is the current union chief. Have always curious of what his legacy will be decades from now...

Hall of Fame mailday. Been awhile. Active days HOFer #239 for my pc. Manager Joe McCarthy. One of the few releases during WWII. 1944 New York Yankees stamps set. Celebrating the '43 World Series championship

Today in 1976. The Chicago White Sox wore shorts in a MLB game. I believe this is the only baseball card that depicts the White Sox in shorts

Top MLB prospect traded at the deadline, Leo De Vries is now playing for my hometown minor league team

RIP Ryno

Learned a new baseball term ...Waxahachie Swap.. and subsequent mailday....

Very exciting mailday. New addition to the Negro Leaguers pc. Lennie Pearson. 5X all star in 40s with Newark Eagles. Negro League world series champ w/ Doby, Irvin and Day. Set is 1949-50 Acebo y Cia . Cuban winter leagues . Distributed in packages of matches

Oh sweet. Pat McAfee at the HR Derby" said no baseball fan ever

All time Tigers All Star game starting pitchers.

Today's win vs Cleveland is a microcosm of the Tigers over the last calendar year....Skubal and then chaos

Zack McKinstry ...utility player of the year

Took 3 weeks to get to me but finally got 1998 Circa Rave (#/150) rookie card of Tigers legend Magglio Ordonez

Happy birthday to the only player to wear his birthday on his back

Card of the day.... Happy Mother's Day

I just realized that both Eric Young Sr and Jr are both current MLB coaches. Wonder how often mlb has has father/son active coaches @slangsonsports.bsky.social do you know?

Have Rays closer Pete Fairbanks snd the Shamwow pitch man ever been the same room together?

Card of the day

Happy Easter

Random thought : we all know guys like Fernando and Fidrych there was huge increase in attendance when they pitched....Was there ever a starter with the opposite. Team had a good attendance all the time but consistently was poor when one pitcher started

Former Lugnut got paid. Some him place in person when he played here.

All time low of rarity score of 0. All players who played at my college alma mater...

Aaron Judge. Mr. March. :)

Hobby Rule: if you have one in a set. You must get the other for that set. I had the Whitaker now I have the Trammell

Not a bad day at the mall card show today .

RIP George Foreman. My condolences to George, George, George, George, George and the rest of the Foreman family.

Found my summer go to concert this year... www.brooklynvegan.com/the-black-ke...

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This is how you do the Immaculate grid...score of 5!

Assuming Guardians player Jhonkensy Noel will have a rookie card in Topps Holiday this year. I think this a must have for the collection .

To the rookie cup collectors and gurus. Are the Hundleys the only father/son rookie cup duo?

Solid mailday: A star from yesteryear that no one talks about now. Steve Rogers was good!!! 5X All Star. An ERA title. Career 3.17 ERA in 2800+ IP. A signed rookie card of him.

Here is a Roberto Clemente card. We'll sort of. Ok not really. Jose Guillen posing next to the Clemente statue

Baseball card/sci fi show idea: remember Quantum Leap? Take an old baseball card. Use it to leap back in time to research the set, watch the player, learn the game then....but you can't take any cards back with you as it would change hobby history.

Its that time if year and I have always thought this was a cool thing in the hobby.

A Tiger legend was in town today. Got a card signed

Here is a couple Billy Wagner rookie year cards you don't see everyday. Topps Bilingual (Spanish) and Next in Line insert from Upper Deck All Time Heroes set

People as usual are complaining about the HOF voting process. I say it's the best of the 4 major leagues. We have votes trickle in over time & we get to discuss the careers of all the candidates even the ones who will never get in. Better than an announcement of inductees from an unknown committee

My active days HOF pc is now at 238 after today's election results.

Who doesn't love a silly card?

A pre war mailday. M101-2 Sporting News Supplement of Tigers SS Donie Bush. These are pretty nice.
